Quiet of Darkness is an epic tale of the Old South, timeless, in its dramatic story of young lovers caught up in the turmoil of race relationships of their conflicted time and place. Ghosts from the past, in the world they found themselves in, worked against the simplicity of love. The color of their skin did not bother them, but the world in which they lived was the hidden world of the Klan. Hate was the message festering in the evil hearts of their country-folk neighbors. And though nobody spoke openly about it, the memory of the nearby Rosewood massacre was always on everybody's minds.
